Salt Security

Salt Security is a leading API security platform built to protect modern applications from increasingly sophisticated API threats. As APIs become the backbone of digital transformation, Salt Security provides a proactive, AI-driven solution to discover, monitor, and secure APIs throughout their lifecycle. Its core purpose is to deliver deep visibility into API traffic, detect anomalies, and prevent attacks such as BOLA (Broken Object Level Authorization), data exfiltration, and business logic abuse. Key features include automated API discovery, runtime protection, machine learning-powered threat detection, and compliance mapping aligned with PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. The user interface is sleek and professional, with a dashboard offering real-time insights into API inventory, attack timelines, risk scores, and sensitive data exposure. Navigation is intuitive, though it is designed primarily for security and DevSecOps professionals, meaning non-technical users may require onboarding support. Visualizations such as attack paths and behavioral analytics simplify incident response and decision-making. Salt Security excels in functionality with its Illuminate™ engine, which automatically discovers all APIs—including shadow and zombie APIs—without agents or manual tagging.
